Bacterial cells, which in general have dimensions lying between 1-4 um, are resolved only with difficulty under the light microscope. At magnifications of 400 times natural size, large bacteria stained in methyl violet can just be seen as small, dark specks. Providing the resolution of the light microscope is good, higher magnifications (e.g., 1000x or 1500x) do reveal a little more of the internal structure of bacterial cells. The light photomicrograph (see image below) shows a single type of bacterial cell treated with Giemsa stain. Measure the length of cell X, and assuming the actual length to be 3 um, calculate the actual magnification. - Cell X 2 11 12 13 14 15 2 3 Centimeters Inches

What structure in eukaryotic cells is more easily seen in DICthan in bright-field microscopy?
Someone has left a tube of unlabeled (poor lab practice) cells on your lab bench. Using differential staining, how would you determine if the cells were from E. coli, beans, or ants? Your hypothesis is that cells are from ants. What stain would you use to differentiate between E. coli and ant cells? Explain and include your expected results.
A) The size of a cell seen under a microscope is 3mm Using a total magnification of 40x. What is the actual cell size and decide if the cell is prokaryote or eukaryote based on its size?
Identify the cell structure providing for cell morphology in the Staphylococcus epidermidis and Escherichia coli that you stained and examined. What unique macromolecule is found in this structure in both of them? How does that part of the bacteria differ between the two species?
The Gram staining (Ex. 3-6) procedure is exactly the same for Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria cells. So, why do the Gram-positive and Gram-negative cells end up looking very different after performing the Gram stain? (In your answer, explain the differences between the Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria cell wall structure and explain how the alcohol reacts differently with both the Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria cell walls.)

Staining of cells is often performed to enhance images acquired by brightfield microscopy. Phase-contrast microscopy does not require cell staining. Why is this advantageous?
Assume the diameter of the field of vision in your microscope is 1.75mm under low pressure. If one bacillus is 5um, how many bacillus cell could fit end to end across the field. How many 7um yeast cells could fit across the field?
Assume you are observing the diatom pictured in Figure 1 using the 10X lens in a compound light microscope. You move to the 40X lens and then again to the 100X lens by only rotating the turret (remember that the lenses are parfocal), without making any other adjustments to the microscope. At 100X you are unable to see the diatom. Explain why. Explain what correction (s) should be made to allow you to see the diatom using the 100X lens. After making your adjustments, you notice that the midline of the diatom is in focus while the remainder is blurry. Explain, based on microscopy principles, why this has occurred.
Which of the following microscopes typically requires the use of vital dyes (like methylene blue) to visualize large subcellular structures in a living cell (like the nucleolus or the mitochondrion)? the scanning/tunneling electron microscope (STEM), with good resolution up to about 100,000,000x the transmission electron microscope (TEM), with good resolution up to about 100,000x the scanning electron microscope (SEM), with good resolution up to about 1,000,000x the compound light microscope, with good resolution up to about 1,500x all of the above microscopes would be equally useful in visualizing the interior of organelles
